Manage views

Views are a way for admins to segment users, streams and social networks in an account. For example, different teams can be assigned different views if they don’t need access to the same streams and social accounts. This also keeps everyone's dashboard tidy.

Users can belong to one view at a time, and are only able to see the streams and post to the accounts in their assigned view. Only Admins can access multiple views. Learn how to change a user's view.

Admins can limit the number of users and streams allowed in a view, to keep one team from using all the streams included in your business plan. To see how many of your plan’s streams and users are in use, hover your mouse over the side navigation menu, click Settings at the bottom of the menu, and then select My Plan.

If you want to add more streams or users to your plan, email your Customer Success Manager or insights.support@hootsuite.com.
